Introduction: Aspen Wright is a name. I am 18 years old, but my story doesn't start here. My story started when I was 14 years old. When I was sexually assaulted by an older pack member. Only my family knew of the assault. We didn't want to draw attention to ourselves because I was a good kid and didn't have any problems with anyone. My brother Dayton on the other hand, He is younger than me and is the rebellious one. He likes to smoke and drink at his age and hits on any she-wolf in our pack up to 17 years old. Enough of that bratty brother of mine lol. As I said I was 14 at the time of my assault and it messed me up emotionally because my mother and I had to leave the pack for a few months and go stay in another state due to my attacker getting me pregnant. My mom knew a doctor who could help because I was so small my body couldn't handle a pup growing inside of me. They said it would have killed me. I would be looked down upon in our pack for having to terminate the pregnancy, even if it was medically necessary. One big reason is that well my parents are Beta's of the pack, which means we are second in charge next to Alpha Charlie. After my mom and I returned from our 4-month trip, My parents tried to get back to normal. I was back in school and my brother was still well, he hadn't changed. As the years passed, I had a few boyfriends but nothing was serious. I wanted what innocence I have left to stay that way until I found my mate. Which leads me to where this part of my story starts. (Aspen's pov) When I open my eyes, a big smile pops up on my face. Today is the day. IT'S MY 18th BIRTHDAY! Alpha Charlie was kind enough to allow my parents to put together a birthday party for me and a ball for the unmated she-wolves in our pack who were all aged 18, 19 & 20. We were able to invite several guys from nearby packs to see if there were any mates to come out of tonight. My best friend Trinity will be here in a couple of hours to get ready with me. We both picked out similar dresses for the party/ball. Once I drag myself out of the bed, I hop in the shower and then head out to the packhouse dining room for breakfast. On my way down the stairs, I end up running into Alpha Charlie's son Wyatt, who happens to be one of my best guy friends and brother figures. "Hey squirt, " he says. I just laugh and shake my head. He is taller than me by like 7 inches. Our moms came from the same pack but they weren't friends until they both married into the royals of blood-orange moon. Our dads have been friends since they were babies. like our dads, we've been friends since we were pups. Our parents thought we would end up as mates but thank the Moon goddess we were not paired as mates. Even thinking about Wyatt as my mate makes me gag. I mean he is good-looking and has a nice body but I could never see him as anything other than my best guy friend and brother. He calls me squirt because he is taller than me and because of how petite I am. I'm only 5'1 and I weigh 100lbs I'm tan with big golden-brown eyes and brown hair. I get my fair share of wolf whistles around the packhouse but they know not to try anything else. Most of the guys who whistle are former baseball teammates of mine, yeah I know girls play softball but not this girl. I was raised with my dad as a coach for my brother and I was a big tomboy so it felt right that I play baseball. I finally made it down to the dining room with Wyatt and everyone says hello. After breakfast, me and Wyatt walk to Trinity's house to see if she wants to hang out before we have to get ready for tonight. When we walk up to Trinity's door, we hear her running around the house singing, Wyatt knocks and looks at me and we both bust out laughing as she opens the door. She takes a look at Wyatt and turns red then shoots me a death glare. Little secret only I know Trinity has been head over heels for Wyatt since we were kids but the twist to them is Wyatt knows Trini is his mate. Trini won't be able to tell until her 18th birthday which is, Tomorrow. I think that's one reason she is my best friend. Well other than the fact that we are pretty much the same person. I tell her to get dressed and meet us in the center of the courtyard in 15 mins, we are going bowling. As Wyatt and I walk away, he looks back and smiles then says, "she is beautiful even when she is wearing mismatched clothes, her hair a mess, and no make-up on. Aspen, you have no idea how much I love that girl and how I can't wait for her to become my mate, my wife, and my life." I start to tear up at his words because I'm praying to the moon goddess she pairs me with someone who loves me as much as he does Trini. Trini finally meets us and we head off to the bowling alley inside the packland. (Hardin's pov) Dude I can't wait until tonight. I'm glad the Betas of Blood-orange moon put this ball together. "Yeah, man. All the unmated she-wolves that don't find their mates tonight will probably be willing to do anything. I mean dude you are about to be titled Alpha of green moon. What she-wolf wouldn't want to be with you" Jakob says. I shake my head at him. Jakob you know I'm not a man w***e like you. You know I'm waiting on my mate. I pray to the moon goddess that she is pure like me but if not it's ok. I'll still love her. Just hope if she isn't, she hasn't been with the whole pack. That's the only thing that would bother me. "Dude who cares? At least you'll have one who will know how to please you." Jakob jokes. I punch him in the arm and tell him to shut up. I sit at my desk thinking about my future mate and wonder if she is going to be like anything I've pictured her like. If she has been with a bunch of guys, I guess I'll have to accept it and get over it but at the same time I hope she isn't like that and we can experience all of this together. My dad walks in and tells me that my Alpha ceremony will be held 2 weeks from now on my birthday and it will still go as planned even if I haven't found my mate. I huff at that comment because I don't want to be a 20-year-old Alpha who doesn't have a mate. I want to run my pack with my Luna at my side. Our pack is pretty big, we have 320 pack members and there is only one other pack nearby that has a few more than us and that is the Blood-orange moon pack. They have 335. Their Alpha, Charlie is pretty cool and he has some massive warriors. It's now 4 pm and the ball starts at 8, so I have to go get dressed and make the 2-hour drive to the Blood-orange moon packlands. Once I'm dressed, I head out with Jakob, Walker, Thomas, and Mikael. All of the other guys are talking about banging all these she-wolves, but I'm in my own little world staring out the window.
